it has to be a fair election. that's one of the biggest things that aggravates me about the republican party. they know they cannot win, so they feel they will steal the votes. that just will not happen. thank you. host: on facebook -- matt in maryland, in the penn line. caller: hi. one thing i want to say is i'm independent, leaning democrat some white. i do like obama. i just think if he submitted a budget that did not pass, it's his party. instead of them saying no budget was submitted, resubmit the budget, make the changes that need to be changed for his party to agree on something. then go back and forth with its. i don't understand why we reelected the leaders that were in the house and in the senate. that is not going to change anything. it will make things worse than it was. i hope that obama becomes more involved in the. house and the. make appearances there. -- i hope that obama becomes more involved in the house and senate. they are in session for the next 90 days or 120 days. they need to be in session

there were swing elections for one year we are electing lots of folks who are liberal and two years later, others who are conservative. i think it creates a situation in congress that is more combustible. you see far fewer deals, far fewer efforts to get together and do anything together. it is very rare now for both parties to act in unison. 20 years ago, it was much more common. even further back, you think of tip o'neill and ronald reagan getting together and selling big issues but that does not happen anymore. i think that is in part due to some of the elections we have had where people are really swinging back and forth and we are getting a divided congress. it creates a crazy atmosphere were nothing gets done in congress and both sides are fighting all the time and i think the public is absolutely fed up. i covered campaigns myself and talk to voters again and again and i hear that people are sick and tired of it. it is leading to these elections where we are getting lots of new people in every few years including this frantic turnover in congress. it is adding to the atmosphere tha

the debates, the election process for the candidates. it's hard to make a case that it is really the best process. it's not set up to produce the best nominee for president, for the republicans. maybe the democrats are happy with the process. host: in the washington post -- guest: it would help republicans because they would get some votes rather than no votes. a winner-take-all state or electoral college process served the country well. cause i-constitutional arrangements are a little murky. -- quasiconstitution. in some states there really are no presidential campaigns. like the larger states like texas. we have red states and blue states that seemed prpretty reliably one party or the other, so they don't really spend on campaigning in those areas. last fall you cannot turn on the tv in virginia without seeing ads. especially when the -- especially when the obama ads were better than the romney ads. it was weird when you go to visit people in new york or los angeles. they are not actually experiencing the campaign. if you went to a con

caller: do you think facebook had any effect on the election? host: what is your own answer to that question? caller: i'm asking you the question. host: ok, let's ask bradley shear. guest: literally, since 2004 when howard dean used the internet to start fund-raising, and in 2008 when president obama had people from facebook help him out. and then in this last election cycle, i think social media is another platform to be utilized. i think every bit helps. at the end of the day, you ought to go out there as a politician and shake hands, kissed babies, to stump speeches. just social media will not do it. utilizing a social media is just one of the ways to get to the voters. host: juliet is -- julien is from massapequa. a democrat. caller: i'm not on any of that stuff. i do not have to worry that something i may have posted or said, and i get worried and wake up in the middle of the night and go back to look up something that i posted what i was angry or upset, i don't have to worry about out. i talked to people directly. part of my job is talking
